Hah, the lobbyist must be scared of that, and begging congress already to not pass it :P

"I am going to expand the definition of lobbyist so we close all the loopholes that former government officials use by labeling themselves consultants and advisors when we all know they are lobbyists."

You don't find that in the least bit concerning?... I mean, it's one thing if someone is funneling money into someone's account to try to influence their opinion on an issue, but it's entirely different if someone who has prior experience in office is actually trying to give someone advice that they've asked for. A political office is not an easy operation to take on alone...

Oh noes, Jill Stein speech panders to voters! How terrible!
When it's 9/11 truthers and anti-vaxxers, to name a couple, it is actually terrible.

As to the college debt, it's better crap than to keep enriching capitalists to make education worse, which is what everyone else wants to do, even if she gets some names wrong - the president wouldn't write the economical plan himself.
Considering it's a non-plan, no, it's not better.

I'm not sure if I get what you mean, but every time you see trump you want to be prosecuted by the Volksgerichtshof and get beheaded afterwards?

I like how Hillary just pissed off the Pentagon on live TV by giving away classified information and then Tweeting it afterwards to make it not seem like a slip up. But hey, maybe we're being too hard on her, because remember...

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
